GILES F. FILLEY, OF ST. LOUIS, MISSOURI.

COOKING-STOVE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 235,346, dated December14, 1880. Application filed September 13,1880. (Model) To all whom itmay concern:

Be it known that I, GILEs F. FILLEY, of St. Louis, Missouri, have made anew and useful Improvement in Cooking-Stoves, of which the following isa full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the annexeddrawings, making part of this specification, in which Figure 1 is aview, in perspective, showing that part of the stove with whichthe'improvement is immediately connected, the damper being turned downand portions of the outer and inner walls beng broken away to exhibitthe interior construction; Fig. 2, a plan of the stove, showing the topplate partly removed and the damper turned down; Fig. 3. a view similarto that of Fig. 1, the damper being turned up; and Fig. 4 a view similarto that of Fig. 2, the damper being turned up.

The same letters denote the same parts.

The present construction is an improvement in three-flue cooking-stoves.By means of it the capacity of the stove'at its top is increased, and instoves extended longitudinally, such as six and eight hole stoves, theheat'currents, as they pass along the top, are kept from drawing towardthe center of the stove, and the heat is thus applied moreadvantageously to the openings and vessels in the stovetop, at the sametime the body of the stove, or all that portion below the level of theoventop, does not need enlarging.

Referring to the drawings, A represents the improved stove having thefire-place B, the flue 0, extending from the fire-place, the divingflues D D, side bottom fines, E E, the center bottom flue, F, ascendingflue Gr, flue-space H, and oven 1. A division-strip, K, extends from theside a of the stove to the side a. It is arranged on the farther(measured from the fire-place) side of the diving flues, and the partsare arranged and proportioned so as to bring the strip just between twosets of the openings in the top plate, c of the stovesay between the setL L and the set L L. This enables all the openings L L L L L L L L to bebrought compactly together, as shown, and thereby the'capacity of thestove at its top is increased.

MM represent a two-wing damper, by means of which the .directcommunication between the flues G and H can be closed-that is, there areopenings d (1 just beneath the strip K, through which the heat-currentscan pass from the flue 0, across the upper ends of the flues D D, intothe flue-space H, and this is the course the heat-currents are allowedto take when it is not desired to heat the oven, but only the upper partof the stove, and as indicated in Figs. 1 2; but to heat the oven, thedamper is turned up, as shown in Figs. 3 4, and the heat-currents thenpass from the flue (J down the diving flues D D and through the flues EE, F, and G, into the space H.

Now, as thus far described, the construction is similar to that of animprovementin ranges patented to David H. Nation, June 1, 1880, andnumbered 228,270. In the construction last referred to the exit from thespace H is into a flue leading along the side a ot' the construction,and from opposite the space H to or toward the center of the side a.

In the present construction the flue last described is omitted. and theescape N is located directly at the farther end of the space H and atthe center of the stove end, as shown, and the products of combustionpass from the space H directly into the escape N.

The ascending flue G is raised and constructed at its upper end as shownat g, giving thereby a larger out-let into the space H.

I am aware of and disclaim the construction shown in patent grantedCrowley and C-haur berlain, February 29, 1876.

I claim The combination, in the stove A, of the fines C, D D, E E, F, G,and H, and the dampers M M, said flues O and H being separated by thestrip K, said ascending flue G being extended at g, and the flue H,having the escape N, arranged at the rear end of the stove,substantially as set forth.
